book club

Last year I started a book club...not sure why it took me so long to do that since I have been an avid reader since second or third grade. We have been meeting a little over a year, with a break in the summer and for Christmas. Anyway, the books that we have read so far are

The End of the Spear by Steve Saint

Like Dandelion Dust by Karen Kingsbury

One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus

Angry Housewives Eating BonBons by Lorna Landvik

At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

Scrap Everything by Leslie Gould

In An Instant by Lee and Bob Woodruff

A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel

Hamilton Heir by Valerie Hansen

Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy

The two books that I like the best are The End of the Spear and Like Dandelion Dust. As you can see by the titles, the book have been a mix of fiction and nonfiction. I think in May it will be my turn to bring the books. Does anyone have a recommendation for a book that would be good for a book club? Has anyone read any of the books that our book club has read?

I am new to your blog, just stumbled upon it today so I don't know if you have read this book or not, but it is definitely one of my favorites. Called "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Originally written in spanish and translated to this english version. Loved it and couldn't put it down.
